i always have a drink if asked but not always a hot one.
If you start turning them down, they tend not to keep offering, so i have it anyway even if i take a few sips and then water the plants with it.

Quite often get offered, but depends how long it was since my last one,
otherwise I'd end up with a bladder like a zeppilin (spelling?).
Mostly I just tell them I'll bank it for next time, most of them do remember (if they're in).

there are certain customers i refuse a brew off

I get offered a drink a couple of times a week...but I only ever accept from 1 particular customer 'the smoking woman' as we call her...lives on a council type estate, very blunt woman...from day one she refuse to talk English to me which I liked and our first conversations were very difficult but she does speak and understand English very well as do most Dutch but by refusing to speak to me in English I found this refreshing and always accept her offers of coffee.
But in general I do politely refuse.
Cheers
Dave.

I was always told to accept a cuppa when offered, even when you dont want one. The reason is that they never reaaly ask again.
I have found this to be true.
